time. It was wildly beautiful.

On my pre-feast walk on Mt Pleasant Road, few bird species, but a cool
observation (or 2).
I'd noticed a Red-tailed Hawk flying at one point. Later on my way back, I
heard a brief Red-tailed Hawk-like call from the woods on my right. My
interpretation was Blue Jay, and wondered what motivated i
There was also a single Lapland Longspur at Mt Pleasant yesterday, mixed in
with about 200 Snow Buntings and about 50 Horned Larks. And an immature Bald
Eagle floated by. And kinda weird to hear Cardinals and Juncos in full song
while staring at a flock of Snow Buntings.

Hi all,
As I turned onto Mt Pleasant Road from Mineah around 3pm Sunday, I was
delighted to hear the deep resonant drumming of a Pileated Woodpecker coming
from the woods to the east.
At the top of the hill a flock of maybe 50 Snow Buntings took flight, and I

A quick walk up on Mt Pleasant Rd this morning netted the following:
American Pipits several in the newly ploughed field opposite the radio tower.
There was also a flock of Horned Larks there the day it was ploughed, not new
arrivals, I surmise, but simply those unfortunate individuals whose nes
Mt Pleasant hosted a flock of 140+ Cedar Waxwings in the shrubby area just west
of the observatory, feasting on buckthorn berries around 11:15 this morning.
Also a Rough-legged Hawk perched in a tree by the roadside a bit farther east.

On Sunday afternoon, around 3:30, there was a flock of 12 Horned Larks with
about half as many Snow Buntings flying in the fields at the eastern end of Mt
Pleasant Rd. The same number of Horned Larks were also in the same area,
feeding in the snow-free patches of ground, on Friday afternoon. Whe
Hi all,
Joining the late American Robin in the yard this afternoon, was a very
cold, hungry-looking Belted Kingfisher perched low down over the
still-open water of the creek next to my house, giving a very slow quiet
